Indigenous peoples suffer disproportionately from poverty, marginalization, lack of adequate housing and income inequality.
A changing economy centered around industrialization has prompted many of the rural to move or migrate which has led to an accumulation of slums and poor villages on the outskirts of urban cities. The problem prompts a powerful need for sustainable and affordable housing care.
To this call KDC through KAILASA’s Nithyananda Shelters provides commodities to millions of people with increased funding. KDC is a leading example of how affordable housing can raise standards of living and boost the economy, essentially alleviating poverty through the following aspects:
Adequatehousing
Fundamental and basic supply of availability of housing: security of tenure, affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, cultural adequacy and availability of services, materials, facilities and infrastructure.
Protection against forced evictions
Protection against forced evictions is a key element of the right to adequate housing and is closely linked to security of tenure.
